A modification package designed specifically for the Honda/Acura RSX (also known as the Honda Integra DC5 in some markets), broadens the vehicle’s stance. This is achieved through the addition of extended fender flares, side skirts, and often redesigned bumpers. These components replace or are affixed to the original body panels, creating a more aggressive and visually striking appearance. For example, a stock RSX might have a wheel track of 1475mm, while one equipped with such a package could see that track increased by several centimeters, depending on the design.
The appeal of this modification lies in its ability to enhance both the aesthetic and performance characteristics of the vehicle. Visually, it transforms the car’s profile, lending a more formidable and customized look. Functionally, the increased width allows for the fitment of wider wheels and tires. This, in turn, improves grip and handling, particularly during cornering and acceleration, contributing to enhanced stability. Historically, the application of such modifications has roots in motorsports, where maximizing tire contact area is crucial for competitive advantage.
